Enhancing Care for Children with Asthma

Enhancing Care for Children with Asthma is a system change project utilizing a collaborative approach to implement new systems that support and sustain the adherence to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) asthma guidelines in partnering clinics. HCSC, operator of Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in Illinois, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas, will partner with American Lung Association to provide training and support to five clinics per year in each of the four states that serve high-risk populations. The partnership will support the salary of one manager or coach to work with five clinics per year for three years.
